We have shown the use of the mixture models in the classification of students studying in different parts of Silesia. The mixture of multinomial models analysis yields two groups of students. The first group comprises students who feel strong ties with Silesia. The bond with Silesia in the second group of students is quite weak. The mixture model analysis has confirmed that students' and their parents' background has the influence on those two different attitudes. The difference can be especially observed among students living/studying in the Dabrowa Basin. Administratively, they feel Silesian. They live in this region, but do not have the roots here, so they do not necessarily identify with everything that Silesia is connected with. (fragment of text)
